That’s what I’ve got — and loads of them. There must be a dozen cucumbers approaching ripeness on the two plants that Lola was given by the woman at the allotments. And then there are the six lemon cucumber plants that I grew from seed: they are flowering now and should start fruiting soon. Doubtless, in fact, they will do so while we are down in Somerset next week (funny how Lola and Neve end up having “Grandma in Somerset” and just like Tom and I did).
Holidays present as somewhat more problematic now that one is a keen vegetable gardener. While we are gone, the tomatoes, peppers, french beans, cucumbers, and lettuce will all be cropping, and the rest may need watering and weeding. Tricky business.
